The greater Boston area is expected to get more precipitation today — think time in the form of snow and freezing rain. Last week saw an unprecedented amount of rain, causing coastal flooding to parts of the South and North Shores and downtown Boston; the Cape is still recovering from severe damages from high tides and strong winds.
Our Peabody roofing company is aware that the further inland you live, the more likely there is to be large amounts of wet snow that will easily pile up on your roof, causing damage to the structure of your roof as well as gutters and downspouts.
Professional Snow Removal From Roofs
Bay State Exteriors is here to provide professional snow removal from your home’s roof or detached garage. Normally a little snow buildup is not an issue, especially for newer homes that are more structurally sound. However, for those with covered porches or sunrooms, we highly recommend contacting our roofers for snow removal service. Residents living along the I-495 highway and I-95 are to see 1-3 inches of snow per hour starting at 3 PM. The total could amount to anywhere from 8-12 inches in some areas.
How to Determine if Your Roof is Damaged
With snow piled up on your roof, it can be hard to tell if your roof is damaged by snow and ice. A damaged roof may have peeling shingles or the paneling underneath could be exposed, which means moisture may make it’s way into the attic and create mold problems. The best way to avoid widespread damage is by removing as much of this heavy snow as possible that we’re expected to get.
